Somebody mailed me off-list about my above statement - I don't think
they'll mind me reposting their message here:

--------------

I'll nay. I had no trouble getting/setting properties of a run only script
(either loading it, or running it. (10.1.4, 1.8.2):

The run only script:

property spud : "Hello"

The test script:

load script file "Mac OS X:Users:foo:Library:scripts:run only testapp"
returning mike
set spud of mike to "abc"
spud of mike
--> "abc"

tell application "Mac OS X:Users: foo:Library:Scripts:run only testapp"
set spud to "xyz"
spud
end tell
--> "xyz"

Hey-ho. Scratch another "bright" idea then. ;p
